The Witcher 4: everything we know so far

The Witcher Saga Continues: Ciri Takes Center Stage in Witcher 4

Nearly a decade after the critically acclaimed Witcher 3 captivated gamers, CD Projekt Red has unveiled the first trailer for The Witcher 4, shifting the spotlight to Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter. With Geralt's trilogy concluded, the younger generation steps into the forefront.

The trailer depicts Ciri intervening in a village gripped by a superstitious ritual, showcasing her determination and hinting at a complex narrative. The situation, however, proves far more intricate than initially perceived.

While an official release date remains elusive, considering the development timelines of Witcher 3 (3.5-4 years) and Cyberpunk 2077, a 3-4 year wait for Witcher 4 seems plausible, given the early stage of production.

Platform specifics are yet to be announced. However, given the anticipated release timeframe, a current-generation console focus (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC) is likely. A Switch port, unlike Witcher 3, appears less probable, though a potential Switch 2 release remains a possibility.

Though gameplay details are scarce, the CGI trailer offers glimpses of familiar elements: potions, signs, and combat. A notable addition might be Ciri's chain, used for both trapping monsters and channeling magic.

Voice actor Doug Cockle confirmed Geralt's presence in the game, albeit in a supporting role, fueling speculation of a mentor-like figure guiding Ciri's journey.
